{"product_id":"the-lost-heart-of-asia","title":"The Lost Heart of Asia","description":"\u003cp\u003eA land of enormous proportions, countless secrets, and incredible history, Central Asia--the heart of the great Mongol empire of Tamerlane, site of the legendary Silk Route and scene of Stalin's cruelest deportations--is a remote and fascinating region. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the emergence of newly independent republics, Central Asia--containing the magical cities of Bukhara and Samarkand, and terrain as diverse as the Kazakh steppes, the Karakum desert, and the Pamir mountains--has been in a constant state of transition. The Lost Heart of Asia takes readers into the very heart of this little visited, yet increasingly important region, delivering a rare and moving portrayal of a world in the midst of change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50865124475135,"sku":"*R0203995*","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/18555533482209.jpg?v=1793378897","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/the-lost-heart-of-asia","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
